This one should be interesting, maybe ill use that whoever wins this match-up

 

[KJ707]

Thanks for the pics guys. I'm just wondering where do you guys find good pics, for future reference.I should get working on my sig soon.EDIT- When I am finished do I send my sig in a Private PM or just post it here?

 

[MCM]

aight, sounds good.good luck KJ707!I'd also like to know where I send my sig when I finish it too?thanx

 

[KJ707]

Good Luck to you too MCM.So you're the one I am up against. I've seen your work.

 

[AdropOFvenom]

You post the sigs in this thread when your done.

But it seems kinda unfair to post it and then let him see what he has to beat. I'm not trying to stir the pot, but I'm not real fond of the way this part of the tourney is being handled. Whoever turns theirs in 2nd has a HUGE advantage IMO. Plus, then people can see who made which one and just vote for their buddies. These things should be PM'd to someone and then posted anonymously when both are finished by a 3rd party. I guess I'll just post mine the night of the deadline.

[MCM]

Here, since he hasn't turned in his sig yet, use this version instead.

 

[KJ707]

Good Luck MCM.

Im going to go with McM on this one for a few reasons1. The render is alot better placed and a better pic overall2. The background on Kj707's is overbrushed and doesnt fit the sig as well3. The text placement is good in both but the font choice is alot better in McM's.Good Job gents, keep up the good work!

I couldn't find any pictures of Big ben I actually liked and can work with. If I typically can't find that, the sig goes to hell.

I like it.-Text placement is good...the font choice is a little iffy, but overall it looks good.KJ707's-Overall you had a good idea with the half black, half yellow signature....but the execution of it lacks some.-The background is a bit overbrushed...-The text placement is fine, but the Ben Roethlisberger font was a bad choice, and if your using a pixel font you dont want to go above 8 or 10 in the font size usually.-Pic choice and quality both look good, but your pic is on the small side.....use a bigger picture next time.My vote goes to MCM.

 

[The Marine]

I vote MCM to move on to the next round.MCM- Like the render stuff you did on the background- I'm really feeling how you blended the text, nice spot - Nice stuff on the pixel border, look very nice if you ask mekj707- Don't like the text choice you did- You definately did overbrush the background- The picture choice is pretty bad

 

[ThaFranchize]

MCM gets 3 votes right away, and shuts out kj707MCM will move on to the next round.
